The Book of Enoch


                  instruments of Satan.

                  53.4 And I asked the Angel of Peace, who went with me, and I said to him:

                  "These instruments - for whom are they preparing them?"

                  53.5 And he said to me:  "They are preparing these for the kings and the


                  powerful of this Earth, so that by means of them they may be destroyed.
                  53.6 And after this the Righteous and Chosen One will cause the house of


                  his congregation to appear; from then on, in the name of the Lord of Spirits,
                  they will not be hindered.


                  53.7 And in front of him these mountains will not be firm like the earth,
                  and the hills will be like a spring of water; and the righteous will have rest


                  from the ill-treatment of the sinners."

                  54.1 And I looked, and turned to another part of the Earth, and I saw there a

                  deep valley with burning fire.

                  54.2 And they brought the kings and powerful and threw them into that

                  valley.

                  54.3 And there my eyes saw how they made instruments for them - iron

                  chains of immeasurable weight.

                  54.4 And I asked the Angel of Peace, who went with me, saying:  "These

                  chain instruments - for whom are they being prepared?"

                  54.5 And he said to me:  "These are being prepared for the hosts of Azazel,

                  so that they may take them, and throw them into the lowest part of hell; and

                  they will cover their jaws with rough stones, as the Lord of Spirits

                  commanded.

                  54.6 And Michael and Gabriel, Raphael and Phanuel - these will take hold

                  of them on that great day.  And throw them, on that day, into the furnace of

                  burning fire, so that the Lord of Spirits may take vengeance on them for

                  their iniquity, in that they became servants of Satan, and led astray those

                  who dwell upon the dry ground.

                  54.7 And in those days, the punishment of the Lord of Spirits will go out,




                                                                                                     70
